    Oh dear, there are already so many comments! But I wanted to give your chickens some thought, and this is what I came up with. Name them after some of the memorable places from your narrowboat journey. I went back and reviewed things. It will be a nice connection to that special time. I'm including a few extra to choose from or for other critters. So here's what I got:
    Peaky (Peak Forest)
    Bingley (Five Rise)
    Ribble (Link)
    Bugsworth (Basin)
    Marston (Doles)
    Mersey (Canal)
    Marple (Aqueduct)
    Stanley (Ferry)
    And for good measure:
    Falkirk (Wheel), Albert (Dock), Lune (Aqueduct), Wigen (Locks), and Crick (Boat Show)

    Foxes afloat is such an operatic adventure that the hens deserve diva names. So, Aida, Mimi, Carmen, Tosca, Brunnhilde, Norma, Leonora, and of course Salome. They are all sopranos, so when they hit a high note they will lay a big beautiful egg. In addition to the many eggs, you can sell tickets to their performances. Their coop should be named Covent Garden. There you have it!

When we watched last evening and you suggested naming your chickens, my wife instantly started naming them, and here are some of the names we came up with. Brigette (Bardot), Raquel (Welch), Ursula (Andress), Claudia (Cardinale), Catherine (Deneuve), Tina (Louise), Ava (Gardner), Marilyn (Monroe), Rita (Hayworth), or any other of your favourites. :)

    Ok guys. Here is my request, all the way from Canada.
    I grew up in Gawsworth, Cheshire (1950’s). My Mum raised chickens,to be able to sell the eggs, to supplement her very modest income. We had one chicken that thought she was a family member and felt quite at home coming into our house and eating out of our dog’s food bowls. Not sure why but my Mum decided to call her Gerty.
    Would love to see one of your gals named ‘Gerty’!

    In Sweden, everyone who has a garden can have six hens. If you want more, a permit is needed. If you want a rooster, all neighbors must give permission. And it is of course, and understandably, impossible to get. Good luck, and handle the chickens as much as you can now, you will get it back later.👍❤

      I think the problem is that roosters are just noisier than hens and tend to be early to riser in morning. I did a job years ago where I stayed in a bed and breakfast place that had hens and a rooster and personally thought it was a fantastic way to be woken in the morning.

    Shaun, you do seem to be very much enjoying being a dinosaur herder. My experience with chickens, we had a small flock that we free-ranged on the veg. farm I worked at. Every time we moved the pen to a new patch they would go after all the frogs in the grass. That's when I realised they were still mini-dinosaurs. Frog fed chickens make delicious eggs!

    Maybe some traditional Scottish names, Fiona, Isla, Morag, Sorcha, Aria, Freya, Ailsa, Maisie to name a few but there are lots more. They are pretty chooks, what breed are they? I wish we could have some but daughter is afraid they’d be eaten and it would freak the kids out. We have a bear that wanders around out house after the garbage now. It’s just woke up yesterday, I know this because it knocked over the green bin in the night, time to lock it so it can’t get in. We have been asked to not feed the birds here because the the avian virus, we’ve lost a bunch of the birds who live in our trees😢. Hope your girls will be safe, being so far out in the countryside should help protect them.
    Collin, I have ADHD and I guess I give off an unusual energy and some animals are nervous of that, horses never liked me, they would immediately knock me off their back. Maybe your energy is different and that’s why birds yell at you.🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

Betty cause of her hotpot. Elsie after Elsie Tanner Annie after Annie Walker. Hilda After Hilda Ogden. If you do pick one of my suggestion s I hope it's Hilda she was my favorite character. The scene when she finds out her husband Stan had died and she's sat alone with the Muriel behind her as she called it holding his famous broken glasses held together with a plaster is iconic and she deserved an Oscar for that scene alone.

Wanneice (pronounced Wan-niece like it looks), a name I'd never seen before I met my friend, who passed 3/26 from cancer. She loved animals so much that she was constantly rescuing them and last year, defied a policeman. who told her he would arrest her if she didnt leave school property, so she could rescue some stray cats that were living there. She had the momma spayed and found homes for the kittens she had. The rescue cat and her own cat, Bullet, (another good name) were re-homed to a wonderful couple after her passing.

    How about naming them after the canals/rivers/locks you went on with Silver Fox? Mersey, Ribble, Bingley, Miss Marple, Henley, Marlow, Braunston, Weaver 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

    Beatrice, Babs, Betty, Barbara, Bella, Bernidette, Bianca and Birdie would be awesome names. We have used several of these throughout the years. Enjoy those awesome eggs.

      Me too, I suggested old names for the same reason they conjure up such characters. My Nan was Betty and my Mum Phyllis so I love those names

    My hens lived in Cluckingham Palace! Some of the girl's names: Rue McClanahen, Liza on Broadway (named after Liza Minelli because she'd wait until all of the other hens left the Palace grounds to free range, then she'd bolt across the lawn singing at the top of her lungs) and LuSqueal Ball (a screamer) You can tell I live across the pond with these American actress names. Oh, in winter where my farm was, it was brutally cold and bitter and snowy so I had an inside coop in the big barn they wintered over in, aptly named Cluckatraz (after our famous prison Alcatraz) because they could not escape. Have fun with names! Much love to you.

    We never got around to naming our girls; but they did develop their own personalities over time. Highly recommend meal worms (either live or freeze dried) as a treat for them; it’s like candy for chickens! And you’ll have to develop your own chicken stedi-cam for them 😎

    I think you should name them after Dinnerladies characters Bren, Dolly, Jean, Twinkle, Petula, Anita, Phillipa and if there's anymore left Babs from Urmston and if you have a Cockerell call him Tony or Stan 👍😂🤣 it would be amazing 😍

    I like Clementine for chickens. She was the friendly one at my childhood best friend's ranch. She would follow you round and then sit in your lap if you settled somewhere. She was a Rhode Island Red which are supposed to be cross and difficult, but she wasn't.

    Watching this episode (love all of them) reminds me of when I was 12 years old, and I got one hen as a pet that I called " Henrietta" , she would give me a nice fresh egg each and every day that I would have for breakfast before school.
    Unfortunately Henrietta met with a sad ending one day while I was at school, I came home and Henrietta was laid on top of the fridge with her head hanging down,
    My mum said that she got her head stuck in the fence and that she accidentally broke her neck trying to get her out,
    I was 12 at the time and so believed her, years later I now know different.
    But that's a whole story on its own.
    So I would be honoured if you called one Henrietta, simple and short.

    Lady Cluck after the fab Scottish chicken in the animated Robin Hood film. I still cry laughing if I watch her fighting the rhino soldiers!

    What a great set up you've got for the girls. You really are thinking of their happiness and security. I think that's absolutely wonderful! My brother has a bunch of hens and they are very attached to him. Good luck, Shaun. How about some Scottish names for them, such as Fiona, Bonnie, Nessa, Cora, Edina, Lorna, Makenna, and Elspeth?

    If you guys have a hen who is slightly dafter than the others consider Heihei (pronounced hay hay). This is Te Reo (Maori language) for chicken. In the movie Moana there was a brainless chicken called Heihei. All the best for your new adventures from New Zealand.

    I used to hypnotise chicken! I'd take them out of their shed, coax them as I stroked holding their feet together, lay them on the ground on the joint of the paving slabs, with the joint line extending well into the distance and their beaks pointing up the line
    line and then gently moving away. The chicken would then stay until I came and picked them up. I was about ten years old then so rather a long time ago. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks so much. Lots of love to two very special guys!!! Terry xxx
